...Spinoza's fault. In 1908 William James Durant, the Massachusetts-born son of unschooled French-Canadian immigrants, was well on his way to fulfilling his mother's dream that he become a priest. Then he came upon a copy of Spinoza's Ethics in a seminary library. So convincing did he find the 17th century Dutch pantheist that he quickly abandoned the church, deciding instead, as he put it, to pursue a "more intellectually honest life." What he found was another calling. For 48 years, eleven volumes and nearly 10,000 pages, Will Durant labored with monastic...

That the Phoenix is very different now is undeniable, and not its fault. When it was gusty and brash--and when the writing went right to the edge, and often, even usually, a long way over--it's because Harvard Square was the same way.

...chief foreign policy appointee would assume control of foreign policy. This is what Haig has sought to do since his appointment; it is perplexing as to why most people cast him as a villain for doing so--the problems with the administration's foreign policy are the president's fault and not Haig's. Indeed, he is more victim than instigator. A former career military man, Haig is accustomed to taking orders from higher-ups. With no policy guidelines, he must naturally endeavor to initiate them.
